Click the Add Beacon button to add a beacon to the presentation:

• Name: Enter a name for the beacon.

• Type: Use the dropdown list to select the beaconing mode/format:

  • iBeacon: A simple beaconing format

    • Automatically start

      Automatically start with presentation: Check this box to activate the beacon when the presentation begins. You can use commands to enable or disable beacons while the presentation is running.

    • UUID: A string representation of a UUID, which can be in 16-bit, 32-bit, or 128-bit format. A 16-bit UUID must be exactly four hex digits with no punctuation; a 32-bit UUID must be exactly eight hex digits with no punctuation; and a 128-bit UUID must be punctuated exactly as follows: "cd7b6f81-f738-4cad-aebf-d2a2ea36d996".

    • Major: An integer specifying the 2-byte Major value (0 to 65535)

    • Minor: An integer specifying the 2-byte Minor value (0 to 65535)

    • TxPower: An integer value

      specifying

      that corresponds to the measurement of the Tx power level (in dBm) at 0 meters. The default value is -19, which corresponds to a level of -60dBm at 1 meter. The recommended calibration practice is to measure the RSSI in a circle at 1 meter

      and

      from the beacon, then add 41 to the average measured signal strength to get the TxPower value: For example, measuring a -65dBm RSSI

      leads to a

      at 1 meter yields a TxPower value of -24.

  • Eddystone URL: The Eddystone-URL format

    • Automatically start

      Automatically start with presentation: Check this box to activate the beacon when the presentation begins. You can use commands to enable or disable beacons while the presentation is running.

    • URL: The URL to encapsulate in the advertisement packet. 

    • TxPower: An integer value

      specifying

      that corresponds to the measurement of the Tx power level (in dBm) at 0 meters. The default value is -19, which corresponds to a level of -60dBm at 1 meter. The recommended calibration practice is to measure the RSSI in a circle at 1 meter
